GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XC9215/9216/9217 series is a group of synchronous-rectification type
DC/DC converters with a built-in 0.6Ω P-channel driver transistor and 0.7Ω
N-channel switching transistor, designed to allow the use of ceramic
capacitors. The ICs enable a high efficiency, stable power supply with an
output current of 500mA to be configured using only a coil and two
capacitors connected externally.
Minimum operating voltage is 2.0V.
Output voltage is internally
programmable in a range from 0.9V to 4.0V in increments of 0.1V
(accuracy: ± 2.0%).
With the built-in oscillator, oscillation frequency is selectable from 600kHz
and 1.2MHz to make available the frequency best suited to your particular
application.
As for operation mode, the XC9215 series is PWM control, the XC9216
series is automatic PWM/PFM switching control and the XC9217 series
can be manually switched between the PWM control mode and the
automatic PWM/PFM switching control mode, allowing fast response, low
ripple and high efficiency over the full range of load (from light load to high
output current conditions).
The soft start and current control functions are internally optimized.
During standby, all circuits are shutdown to reduce current consumption to
as low as 1.0µA or less. With the built-in U.V.L.O. (Under Voltage Lock
Out) function, the internal P channel driver transistor is forced OFF when
input voltage becomes 1.4V or lower. Two types of package, 250mW
(SOT-25) and 100 mW (USP-6B), are available.

* Please short the VSS pin (pin no. 2 and 5) before use.
Connection of the heat dissipation pad to any pin on
the circuit is not recommended. If the pad must be
connected due to a problem of heat dissipation or
mounting intensity, connect to the VSS pin (pin no. 5).
